SAN DIEGO, October 2nd, 2017 – Sergey Bugrov, Executive Director of Global Discovery at ChemDiv, delivered two lectures entitled “Diverse Discovery Libraries and How They Can be Used in Research” at the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Sciences (SIMM) and at the IHuman Institute of the ShanghaiTech University.
The lectures were dedicated to one of the most important steps in the process of drug discovery - the project-based selection of compounds. Choosing the right compounds amongst the many millions available in numerous libraries is essential for the success of a discovery project, and Dr. Bugrov, having distilled his extensive experience in the field of drug discovery, presented a number of effective strategies for compound selection and their application in research programs.
